Event Summary

Event Overview

With the various sportive routes winding their way through the north Cotswold Hills the 'BCCF2014' event offers a challenge for every level of cyclist. There are three sportive routes are available on the day, from a family fun ride to an epic 70 mile leg tester. Further details are below.

As well as the sportive routes, the cycling festival includes a range of activities going on throughout the day in the grounds of Broughton Castle, including an off road mountain bike course for children organised by Banbury Star CC, food stalls, charity stands live music and much more.

Sportive Route Details:

'Family Fun' ride of 10km / 5.5 miles (entry for which is made payable on the day). A flat(ish) family freindly route around the quiet roads immediately surrounding the castle.

'Challenge' route of 60km / 36 miles with approximately 2000ft of climbing for those who are new to cycling or a medium ability but who still want a tough cycling challenge. The route includes a tough categorised climb out of Whichford village - 'Col de Whichford' we're calling it!

'Epic' route of 115km / 71 miles for the more serious cyclist. The epic route is tough, and will be close to 6600ft of climbing and taking in 9 categorised climbs, including the infamous Dover's Hill.

The Challenge and Epic routes will have full electronic chip timing.... so lets see what time you can do!
